Ruslan Lunev made the home crowd happy as the Azeri shooter bagged his fourth gold medal at the Islamic Solidarity Games in Baku on Tuesday in the men's 10-metre air pistol final.

The Azeri ace, who had earlier taken gold in the 25-metre centre-fire pistol as well as the 25-metre rapid fire pistol and the 25-metre standard pistol, added another first place to his tally by edging out 2015 European Games silver medallist Yusef Dikec of Turkey.

Pakistan's Muhammad Shehzad Akhtar produced a strong finish to secure the bronze medal in what was his international final debut.
